It sold Friday for $1.28 million, the Zillow listing confirms.
The new investor, who is from Los Gatos, Calif., allegedly wants to turn the four-bedroom, three-bathroom home into an Airbnb that will replicate the iconic movie’s set.

According to TMZ, the home won’t be ready on Airbnb before the spooky October 31 holiday because the owner “wants to make it perfect and not rush things.”

The “Poltergeist” house, located at 4267 Roxbury Street, hit the market in August for the first time in 45 years.
It features a light-filled living room with massive windows, a formal dining room and a kitchen with modernized appliances.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms including a primary suite with vaulted ceilings, an en suite bathroom and a walk-in closet.
The backyard, which occupies 16,000 square feet, features a large, in-ground pool and a jacuzzi.
